ANC continues to be a Beacon of Hope for Sri Lankan students

ANC considers it an obligation of an educational institute to provide international education opportunities for local students to be trained and educated for the twentyfirst century. Since technological advancements have brought down all walls of separation, and the world has become a global village, arena of operation for local students is not just Sri Lanka anymore; it’s the entire world. The collaboration between ANC and a number of world class universities ensures that ANC graduates not only possess technical skills but also thrive in a globalized economic environment.

ANC students follow a curriculum that prepares them for tomorrow. They are lured into multinational companies and world class grad schools within less than three months of graduation. Those who are on transfer programs are accepted by top notch universities in America and Canada, and their achievements are as great as those of their American born peers. This is a testimony to ANC’s commitment to its mission: “Molding successful futures by delivering International quality education to develop knowledge professionals capable of creating and exploiting global market opportunities.”

Currently, there are five undergraduate degree programs offered at ANC: U. S. Business Degree Completion U.S. Psychology Degree Completion 2+2 U.S. Transfer Program 1+3 Canada Transfer Program 3+1 U.S. Transfer Program
